    Hi and welcome,

    I think you will really like this site. I have looked and been part of others and some have so much info and flashing stuff on them, I can't stay focus and have trouble nativagting the system. Some sites are almost like an business card with too much info on them. This site has everything you will need and it's user friendly. Good luck to you and let the "heatlhy and happy" begin.

    I got tired of " You have such a pretty face"! whatever! Everytime I look in the mirror I dont regonize who's looking back. I was always an active person. Played every sport, walking around with friends. But things change and you just dont realize it happens. Im tired of being the nice person who has the" pretty face." Anyways I lost about 70 lbs 2 years ago , not by using this site. I never counted calories just ate good and excerise. Ididnt know anything about calorie counting, eating back calories or anything like that. I couldnt lose anymore weight and kinda got upset about it and gave a up and gain back around 15 lbs. Not back I say. But I knew if I didnt stop this downward motion I never reach my dreams. So, my sister told me about this site and I joined and got really inpired and excited. I learned so much information and still learning. I have been here since march of this year and I have lost 28 lbs so far. So thats a total of around 85lbs. I see results and is more hopeful this time I will suceed. So will you!
